Mid-summer `open forum’

I’ll be taking some vacation time starting in a few days, but stay tuned tomorrow, as Simon Gagne will be in town and I’ll get a chance to chat with him about joining the Kings. Is he preparing an offer to buy No. 12 from Andrei Loktionov? Also, there’s time to sneak in a mid-summer Open Forum. I’m not sure how many questions are out there these days, during the offseason, but if there’s anything Kings/NHL-related that you’re wondering about these days, and you think I or your fellow readers might have the answer, please feel free to ask here. To help streamline the process a bit, I’ll answer, in advance, what figure to be the five most-asked questions…

1. No, I’m not sure when Doughty will sign.
2. No, it’s not hurting anything that he’s not signed.
3. Yes, actually, it is a rather normal process.
4. No, that Internet rumor isn’t true.
5. Or that one.

That should just about take care of it… Just a bit of fun. Ask away!
